Wales gets social

I’m delighted to be attending and delivering a workshop at the upcoming What’s Next Event. This event is focused on social media for business and will be the biggest of its kind ever to take place in Wales.

Speakers include “friends of the family” of yBC – British experts known for delivering top quality advice and guidance to SME’s. Thomas and Penny Power of Ecademy, James Potter (the LinkedIn Man), digital marketer Mick Say, and of course Allan Blair Beaton himself. Plus plenty of other highly sought after digital media specialists, commentators and practitioners.

If you are based within striking distance of Cardiff, it will be a very worthwhile day out. And unlike other social media events which seem to force you to consume information and advice which may not be appropriate to your business, this event is structured to give you maximum control and attend the sessions which are most relevant to your business.
